Sure, there will be the usual array of high-toned art-house films on display, but in addition to those, four Best Picture nominees — Top Gun: Maverick; Avatar: The Way of Water; Everything Everywhere All at Once; and Elvis — have cumulatively made close to 1.6 billion bucks at the domestic box office.Pushing into the mix is a tiny indie: To Leslie, made in 19 days for under a million dollars. The little-seen film nabbed a Best Actress nomination for star Andrea Riseborough as a down-and-out Texas alcoholic, squeaking past some bigger films thanks to an “advocacy campaign” that urged major names to tout the performance.

Oleksandr Usyk took to social media on Friday to accept Tyson Fury’s terms for a fight to become undisputed world heavyweight champion.Time appeared to be running out to arrange a deal between the titleholders for a proposed April 29 fight in London, with Usyk’s promoter, Alex Krassyuk, saying their latest offer — a 60-40 split to the winner — was rejected by Fury and his camp.That prompted Fury, the WBC champion, to publish a video on Instagram on Friday, saying he would fight only if there was a 70-30 split of earnings from the bout in his favor.“I see all this talk about boxing fights, that they want 50%, Tyson being greedy,” Fury said. “Where I’m standing: Usyk, you and your team are worth 30%.“You either take it or leave it.”Usyk, a Ukrainian former cruiserweight champion who owns the WBA, IBF and WBO belts at heavyweight, responded with his own video on Twitter.
